How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

It was my first- did SDN and reviewed AMCAS. Key to go over your app so you can make sure that when they compare the interview info and the file, everything matches up.

What impressed you positively?

This is a relatively new school in a very picturesque setting. The facilities all seemed nice, clean and modern. Their anatomy lab is incredible and the students are all very positive, low-stressed.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewer's attitude towards med. education was geared only to passing the boards. There seemed to lack an enthusiasm for medicine and future excellence.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

NYMC would be a nice location to study medicine. Know your application well and take it seriously even if this school's not at the top of your list.

What are your general comments?

Everyone is very nice; the dean gives an overview of the school and is genuine in wanting to know all interviewees. My interviewer was rigorous in her listing of experiences and chronology of my life- gave no real opportunity to engage in conversation. Overall it was a very nice, relaxed day getting to know an improving medical school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
